To me... J-Style tuning is a way of life, it's a movement, it's a lifestyle, if you're like me and live and breathe the j-style, then you have, you will, you are, and you most important of all...

....live...

...J-style tuning...

nah jk, there is no such thing as j-style tuning, some people have been having a lend of you.

if j-style tuning is "no clear lights and no neons" then how come all of the uras demo cars and the origin lab demo cars all have crystal LED / Clear tail lights? and neons?

and that silvia convertible with the cima conversion is awesome what are you talking about? i saw that thing years ago if it was eligable for road use then i would buy it myself... what's wrong with it?

i rember reading a artical by the editor on j-style tunning. it was only a few months ago (i think when www.j-spec.com had thier first dyno day). he argues that j-style is not a true cullture, as far as i can rember.

if you email them they would be able to tell you what issue the artical was.

that is j-style to a T. take note of the simple anti-bling rims with big dish and simple yet sexy black and white theme. also looks to have a race seat on the drivers side only, very jap thing o do, although they will usually have fixed back race seat for the driver, and a lower spec reclinable version from the same brand for the passenger

J-Style, I'd assume, would basically be mirroring a Japanese tuning sub-culture.

Just like there's no US-style tuning (even though you'd recognise an American hot rod or chopper if you saw one), nor is there a an Aus-Style tuning (although if you saw a Street Machine type vehicle you'd pick it as Australian) there is no single "J-Style".

As you said, there are plenty of blingy JDM cars (considering the Altezza is a Japanese car, its ironic that people think Altezza lights aren't JDM), as well as the infamous bosozuku / yankee styled cars, with the stupidly massive bodykits and exhausts, and insane offset wheels.

People who think J-Style, J-Spec, or JDM-style cars are purely stripped out race machines are having a toss.

Has anyone, EVER, brought a tripod to Daikoku PA? Post pics if you know of someone who has...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
